"If I could go back in time and like tell 11 year old me that like not only do you get to go to Comic Con but you go every year. So much so that you get greeted by Stan Lee when you show up. And 11 year old me would be like - How did we get so fat?" - Kevin Smith

Ha, no. Sadly. I have been killing my time with Image books. I am waaaay behind on my Tie-In readings. Need to resolve that an put the "i" books down for just a few. I have so many of them now. Like ... We Stand On Guard is off to a great start!!!! Nialbiter, Birthright, Invisible Republic, Deadly Class, Copperhead, Low, Revival, Saga, Sons of the Devil, Southern Bastards, Southern Cross, Lazarus ...JEEEZ!!! All so good. Some I have only read a balloon or two but I can tell I like it.

I hear you. I've been sucking up all my free time on MU. Even my kid is complaining about me always being on my phone.

Pick this up. It's a lot of fun. Basically it's the Marvel Universe set in 1872 in the town of Timely (The original name of Marvel). A lot of little things like the town being set next to the Kirby river make it fun. Town Sheriff - Steve Rogers. Town drunk - Tony Stark. And his drink of choice? Wolverine whiskey. Mayor Fisk and Govenor Roxxon are the antagonists.

I like this.

I did as well, though after reading issue #2 ...

I'm kinda shocked that they have used Redwolf so little, as I thought they were gonna try him in a new series. Maybe not, but if so I would want to see more of him to get fans into the character.

Peter David is obviously a far greater caliber of writer than Slott appears to ever have the hope of attaining. I have stopped my preorders of these 2 series at #3. However, being that PAD is PAD, I think I'll still pick up the remaining floppies of Future Imperfect.

As for Renew...I still follow with little interest into this storyline. Annie is not Mayday, and I guess I just don't care to get to know her.

I am soooo far behind. Spending over a week in Vegas hasn't helped the cause. Plus Dave is gonna have a huge stack waiting for me on my desk at home I just know it. I have even stopped reading most of them for now, stopped reading a majority of the X related books all together (most were just not good at all).

Maybe we can finally have that HRead-Through I've always wanted when these books start hitting the MU. We pick 3 books a week and talk about them three books and move on each week. Making a much delayed event even longer on the re-read.HAHAHAHA

So, with MU, I've now read first issues of Thors (very cool!) A-Force (eh, fine), but Planet Hulk and something else didn't make me feel anything about the titles to want to read more or "discover" their world.

I liked Planet Hulk. Give the second issue a shot. 1872 is fun too. Old Man Logan is a good title for a tour of this world also.Thors is my favorite.

The rest are not must reads and by all that is holy, don't waste any time on the Ultimate book!
